Hey guy's... building a rig for a friend, used for gaming, starcraft 2, diablo 3...all that good stuff @ 1920x1080 - it's been a year or so since ive built a PC, not to sure on ALL of the lastest hardware but heres what i've come up with, suggestions would be awesome.

That would be because I had horrible driver support when the 6870s came out, for crossfire, eyefinity and single monitor. Also, my 6970s have some games that are suppose to be eyefinity native but are broken in them as well.

For every 1 person whom claims that there is problems with amd/ati drivers there is 10 users whom will tell you otherwise .... honestly BOTH company's are not great or perfect especialy nvidia as some would like to claim n praise. Ask the peaple whom earlier in the year had there cards have no fan run on them properly & kill them cause of nvidia's so " perfect " drivers ...

Honestly 6950's and 560ti's are pretty even, if you can get the shaders unlocked on the 6950 and OC it I would go for that because it will perform better. If you aren't comfortable with that pick up the 560 ti, it overclocks really well and is very easy. I just overclocked my GPU for the first time ever today and I have it up to 980mhz/1960/2300 rock solid stable and I haven't even tried to push it yet this is just all I had time for.
